Then Nobuko, my M-I-L, prepared 2 cups of kombu dashi, adding a pinch of salt to the liquid, and setting aside. She arranged the clams in a dry cast iron skillet, covered the skillet and placed it over high heat. After about 7 or so minutes, the clams opened up.

Blog Post & Recipe: Chickpea Casserole with Lemon, Herbs & Shallots

This is a meatless vegetarian dish, bright with lemon zest and herbs. It gets finished off with a crunchy, olive oil-drizzled crust of Parmesan and breadcrumbs. It's creamy inside, crisp on top. But it leaves out old-fashioned canned soups and all those heaps of cheese and cream. Instead I use some low-fat yogurt (so tasty and tangy!) and some cottage cheese to bind the casserole together.

Blog Post & Recipe: Gravadlax and how to make it

'Gravad lax' is Swedish for 'cured salmon' and harks back to the time when fishermen would save part of their catch by burying it in the beach. Presumably the salt in the sand had a preservative effect and a degree of fermentation held off decomposition for a while. Today, things are a little better organised. Nobody's suggesting you should bury your salmon in the garden, but you can entomb it in a salty rub, some cling film and a fridge for a couple of days and produce something magical.

Saddled with a craving recently, I set out to find a recipe. I ended up with this Mark Bittman recipe on Bitten, which solves the problem of holding the meat together by totally pureeing 1/4 of the meat into a paste which holds the larger chunks of salmon together. While some recipes call for mayonnaise or an egg to keep the patties intact, I liked this purer salmon-only approach.

These falafel are made with a mashed sweet potato and chickpea flour base, accented with a generous punch of spices, a nice amount of garlic and plenty of chopped cilantro. If you're looking for that crunchy, fried, falafel experience, this isn't it. But these are delicious in their own way.

Article: The right white stuff

Richard Cornish investigates why we have lost the taste for real milk.

The cream from the milk sat on the coffee in delicious yellow blobs. The person I made it for took a sip, paused and spat it on the ground. Retching, he said "That milk's off! It's disgusting!" "No," I replied, "it's unhomogenised."

Like most people brought up on processed milk, he was only accustomed to the texture of milk that had been homogenised. To him, milk was pure white, smooth, slightly creamy and, somewhere in the hazy background, a cow was involved.
